Yeah.
So freaking what if Icahn is advising Trump to cut regulations that would benefit him financially.
Long as the 'R's' are doing it, it's no big deal.
What good is it being president if you can't help out your billionaire buddies?

On December 21, 2016, it was announced that Icahn would serve as Special Advisor to the President on Regulatory Reform under President Donald Trump.

CNBC reported that Icahn would aid Trump in an "individual capacity" rather than as a federal employee, and that he would not have "specific duties" and therefore would not have to relinquish his business interests while serving as an advisor to Trump.

Nice work if your can get it.
You don't have to give up your business interests, and you get to advise the president on policies that would enrich you.

What's so arrogant is that 45 actually gave the guy a title, instead of just doing it under the table like most people would do.

It's like they're thumbing their noses at us.
